IT’S John Barton’s turn to be arrested tonight after wife Moira helpfully decided to tell detectives all about his punch-up with Cain Dingle – or, as we must now keep remembering to call him, “the victim”.

CORONATION STREET

ITV1, 7.30PM & 8.30PM

AAAH! It’s not often we see soap couples who are madly in love doing sweet, coupley things such as walking in the park and being soppy. So it’s brilliant to see Peter and Carla so happy.

Well it would be, if it weren’t for the tiny detail that Peter’s actually married to Leanne and that she’s currently doing her nut over worrying that he’s dead in a ditch ­somewhere.

EASTENDERS

BBC1, 8PM

SHIRLEY throws a party for all Phil’s enemies tonight in the hope that a) everybody will suddenly decide he’s quite a nice bloke after all, and b) they’ll find out who’s sending him hate-mail on expensive black stationery.
